CdG Odeur 53 - Bottleworthy?

I have sampled both 53 and 71 and I at first have found both to pretty underwhelming. Initially, I thought that 71 was more interesting/challenging and that 53 was too overly subtle. (note: boring) However, a few days ago, I sprayed some GPHII on my body and applied a very little bit of 53 on my hands from my sample vial then went outside. It was very windy that day. I walked around then suddenly I wondered what smelled so nice. I knew that it wasn't the GPHII. Then I realized it was the 53! The combination of the evening breeze with Odeur 53 was in my opinion, strangely amazing.

I was also surprised at the sillage that was given off. When sniffed up close, it's nothing much to get excited about -- pleasant, but nothing too exciting. Kinda like "my skin but better." When I smell 53, I think of "chlorophyll, cellulose, and air." For me, it's a very "green" and transparent frag. This could become my "windy day" frag.

So.. on to the question... Do you think it's bottle-worthy? Would love to hear what you all think!

P.S. I won't be getting it anytime soon though. I have lots and lots and lots I want to grab first. ...And as much as I find 71 interesting, it's something I don't want to smell like at all.

it is truly one of CdG's best - and it sills like crazy - though the wearer won't smell it after a few hours! LOL

Personally I am going to say no.

I agree with many of the positive comments about 053 above, but the godawful huge bottle is IMO just too much, and I rarely have used up my Odeur (I own Odeur 71, since 53 gives me a headache) decant that I have.

If you have a way to buy a small bottle (they show up in shops here in Miami - I sold one on Ebay recently) or a decant do so, before you buy a whole bottle.

I didn't like it, but I prefer it over Odeur 71. It smells flat and stall, almost like a perfume that went off by sunlight damage. If you get a chance and you're exploring your local department store, I recommend testing CK Be, which is a sharper & fresher Odeur 53 IMO.

But if you like the scent after testing it for a while, and think it's bottleworthy...go for it.
